Happy Fourth!

The Office of Secretary of State wishes you a wonderful holiday weekend celebrating our country. (Also remember that government offices like ours will be closed Friday, July 3, in observance of the holiday. The state also reminds folks that fireworks and wildlands don’t mix, and that fireworks are a no-go on state protected and public lands!)

To get you in the spirit of the weekend, our State Archives team has pulled a few old Fourth of July proclamations from years gone by. Enjoy:
